My invention relates to mattresses and has among its objects theproduction of a mattress in which there is employed an inner springconstruction which is comfortable,

simple, durable and attractive in appearance, efcient yand satisfactory.The mattress is of the type known as an inner spring mattress in which asuitable spring construction is `enclosed Withinthe mattress. j,

The invention has` particularly as an object the production of amattress so constructed, that it will to a very large extent retain itsoriginal shape and attractive appearance afterl long use without in anyWay impairing or sacrificing comfort and rest giving qualities. It has,as a further object, the production of an -improved mattress providedwith an inner spring construction entirely enclosed by a quilted casing.,f

lifany otherobjects and advantages of the construction herein shown anddescribed will-be obvious to those skilled in the art from thedisclosure herein given. To this end, lmy 'invention consists in thenovel construction, arrangement and combination of parts herein shownand described, andA more particularly pointed out in the claim. t

In the drawings, wherein like reference characters indicate like orcorresponding parts, i Fig. 1 is a plan view of lone corner of amattress embodying the principles of my invention; and v 35, Fig. 2 is avertical section through the mat- Vtress shown in Fig. 1.

Referring now more particularly toi'ithe.

drawings, the' numeral 11 represents a spring construction made up of,any desired number and style of springs, the particular springconstruction in itself forming no part of the present invention.

In similar constructions luncovered or bare, while others may beentirely encased ina covering of canvas or the like, while in stillother ty es of construction each co'il,may, if desire be enclosed in apocket and several pockets secured together. Extended over the 'faces ofthe spring construction is a pair of quilted casing sections.

the springs are Each quilted section comprises an inner cover l2 and anouter cover 13, between which covers is arranged a filling 14 of cotton,hair or any other material commonly used or suitable for the purpose.4

The casing is quilted by means of stitches 15 or the like to secure theinner' and outer covers 12 and 13 and filling that the same is ofsubstant 14 together so ial body. The

Adjacent edges of the casing sections are fastened together by anysuitable means such as stitches 16 so that the two sections completelyenclose the spring construction.

edges of the casing,

In the construction shown, it may be noted that the spring constructionclosed in quilted poke or casi is entirely enng so arranged 2r A f fnatanti that the quilting is held stretched taut both when the mattress`is occupied and unoccupied. The quilting on the edges o the springconstruction is substituted for the` boxing with which such mattressesare frequently provided, thereby tending to economy of constructionwithout sacrificing the comfort and rest giving `qualities of themattress. j Having thus described my invention, it is obvious thatvarious immaterial :uiodica--Y tions may be made in the same withoutdeparting from the spirit of my invention; hence, il do not wish to beunderstood, aslimv itingimys'elf to the exact form, construction,

arrangement and combination of parts here- Y 1n described and shown, oruses mentioned.

What l claim as new anddesire to secure l lby Letters Patent is: J

ln a mattress of the kind described and in combination, ah inner springconstruction,

a quilted inner casing completely enclos-K ing and closely fitting thespring construction, said casing being arranged in sections with adjacent edges of said sections connected at vdiagonally opposite edges ofthe spring construction, an'outer casing completely enclosing said innercasing, filling positioned between the adjacent horizbntal portions ofsaid inner and outer casings and projecting beyond the edges of theinner casing, and stitches extending through the adjacent marginal edgesof the filling and the horizontal and vertical portions of said outercasing to form a roll, the connected'edges of said inner casing beingfastened to the adjacent roll by the stitches forming said roll. c
